Each cup and spoon is fashioned from a single piece of thick stainless steel, with the measurement value etched permanently into the handle. There is no weld point at the bowl-handle junction, which is the spot where cheaper stainless cups eventually crack.
The 8-piece set covers everything from 1/4 teaspoon to 1 cup, and the magnetic snaps keep them stacked for storage and lifted out one at a time without dropping the rest. OXO backs the set with their Better Guarantee, a documented no-questions replacement policy that the company actually honors.
At around $30, this set replaces the entire category of plastic measuring cups that fade, warp, and absorb odors within a few years of daily use. Stainless does none of those things.
It can be put in the dishwasher every day for a decade and look identical. This is the measuring set that ends the category.
